I would like to reduce number of possible false alarms (i.e. triggered by motion sensor due to sun reflections or mosquito…) Is it possible to require that at least two sensors (preferably within a security/perimeter group, i.e. kitchen, leaving room) need to get trigger within x seconds before the…

Hi Welcome on the forum and thanks for using Heimdall Heimdall will always activate the Alarm State when a selected sensor is tripped in an active Surveillance Mode, no way around that. That said, you could choose to not use the The alarm is activated card but the Sensor tripped in Alarmstate card…

False positives can be a pain to eliminate completely. So, I got this idea: Create a virtual motion sensor, which is set to motion alarm=true, if f.i. both the hallway and livingroom sensors motion alarm=true. Replace the hallway and livingroom sensors with the new virtual sensor in Heimdall. I …

I would strongly advice to not overcomplicate your setup, just to get around a sensor giving false positives. Ask yourself what you want to happen on a overcast day or during nighttime. Do you need that sensor to trigger an alarm by itself? Yes → fix the false positives. No → You don’t need that se…

Thanks for both of yours inputs, I will look over What sensor I do need to triggar the alarm and not, and first start loggning if I do get any false triggats.

Is there a possibility to select “Night” to activate Heimdall ands make settings for the option “Night”? This option is available in Homekit but not in Homey. In homey you have 3 options: Armed, Disarmed & Partially armed. The same button in Homekit: Home, Away, Night, Off I like to make a differe…

Hi Rob, that’s not possible, like you say Homey only offers the Disarmed, Partially Armed and Armed modes and Heimdall uses that. So to get an extra mode you would have to submit a feature request at Athom. That said, Heimdall does offer flowcards to dynamically add/remove sensors from Surveillance…

Hi Danee, Thanks for the answer. I was not aware the functionality of the Heimdall button which is visible in Homekit is managed by Athom. I thought it was part of the Heimdall app. I know that I can flow cards to solve my request. But when I saw the button: Night/Nacht in Homekit I was curious wh…

Hi Rob, It’s not really the Heimdall Surveilance Mode Switch that’s visible in Homekit, it’s a separate device created by Apple to handle the modes and they decided on 4 different modes. Athom is responsible for the 3 modes in Homey, I use these modes in Heimdall and a developer on the Homeykit Ap…

Hi Danee, I do not make use of the builtin Homekit for Homey but I make use of Homeykit app. But it is clear to me. Thanks for your answer. :relaxed:
